'Gilmore Girls' conspiracy theorists are going bonkers after new image surfaces on Netflix

There's been a lull in the Gilmore Girls rumor mill ever since filming wrapped for the series' Netflix revival, but a recent tweak on the website has the fandom re-excited.

Even though fans have deemed it unlikely that Dean will be making an appearance in the rebooted season, there's still the possibility that Rory could reconnect with her other former flames. And now, an updated thumbnail seems to suggest that a rekindling might be on the horizon.

Netflix regularly swaps out the cover art for its series to experiment with what people like to click on most, and it recently changed the Gilmore thumbnail to a photo of Jess. Rory's high school boyfriend. Randomly.
